After reading some Negative SEO tactics on SEW [searchenginewatch.com...] , What and how much off page activities we should do on monthly basis like:
1. Articles
2. Social bookmarking
3. Directory Submissions
4. Commenting
5. Classified/Business listings

I would totally scrap those activities. Long term, they are a huge waste, unless they bring you direct traffic.

I don't do any of those things, however I do try to engage with my users where they happen to be (mostly facebook and some twitter - surprise surprise nobody outside the industry is on google+ ork ork) to remind them I exist and bring them back to the site.

And I make it so easy the ETrade baby could figure out how to share my content on other platforms, along with trying to provide content that people have a reason to share in the first place.

That's mostly what I'm doing off-page. It seems to work for me.

Could you elaborate a little more on what you mean by "share your content"?

I would assume it is more than just putting some social media buttons on there?

And I would also guess that you don't let people just copy and paste the content on their sites if they link back?

But then again, I have been known to assume too much...

Actually in my case, I do. I have a rather interesting republishing document that isn't appropriate it for everyone.

Yah, I have the buttons, and I make sure I have the right buttons for whatever the audience is. And the FB page and the twitter account and even the Google+ page (which nobody ever uses) And I'm working on an email mailing list too.
